We are leading the development of a master plan for Ice Lake Road South (ILRS). The ILRS area (Study Area Map) will provide space to accommodate commercial and industrial growth within the City of Whitehorse for the coming years. The ILRS Master Plan area will establish a vision and framework for the area. It will provide guidance on land use, density, on and off-site infrastructure, and financial feasibility for the future use of the area.

ILRS Planning Area (planning area) is located within the Traditional Territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) and Ta’an Kwäch'än Council (TKC)

ILRS Planning Area (planning area) is located within the Traditional Territories of the Kwanlin Dün First Nation (KDFN) and Ta’an Kwäch'än Council (TKC). The planning area is approximately 32.42 ha and includes vacant Yukon government (“YG”) Commissioner’s land, KDFN Settlement Land (C-86B), and surveyed land (weigh station). The planning area occupies a strip of highway frontage on the west side of the Alaska Highway north of the Robert Service Way / Alaska Highway intersection.

Background

In 2020, a detailed study was conducted to identify pieces of land owned by the City, Government of Yukon, and First Nations that could be considered for light and heavy industrial development. You can find more information about this study on our project page dedicated to Commercial and Industrial Land Planning. In 2021, a preliminary review was completed to refine the list of potential areas. The feasibility studies identify that the “Ice Lake Road South Area” should be the priority area for further planning to get land to the market with a future project intended for Ice Lake Road North.

To learn more about the existing conditions of the plan area and the constraints the land use concept plan must consider, read more in the Background Report.

    Ice Lake Road South Master Plan

    The Ice Lake Road South Master Plan project is being carried out by the City of Whitehorse, in partnership with Kwanlin Dün First Nation and Government of Yukon. When completed, the Master Plan will provide direction for the development of a mixed-use commercial and industrial subdivision to meet growing demand and create economic opportunities. The plan will establish a vision and framework for the area including different land uses, access, roads, trails, and other features, as well as guidance on lot density, on and off-site infrastructure, and costing / financial feasibility.

    The City of Whitehorse is looking for feedback on the preliminary land use scenario (an early draft concept) to hear your feedback and ideas. Your input will inform the refinement of the design as it moves through to more detailed planning and design phases, before going forward for council approval and environmental assessment (YESAB).


    Thank you for your participation in this brief survey. The results of the survey will be posted after the survey closes on August 28.
